What’s the difference between Microdermabrasion and Microneedling?

Microdermabrasion is an excellent medi-spa starter treatment. It provides deep exfoliation, skin regeneration and skin oxygenation. Microdermabrasion is used to renew overall skin tone and texture, gradually and evenly erasing flaws and blemishes, by removing a precise amount of surface cells. Think of it as a fine grit that exfoliates with a vacuum to suck up all the dead skin and debris. You will leave feeling refreshed and ready to tackle any skin concerns you may have.

Microdermabrasion can improve the appearance of sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, acne scarring, melasma, and other skin-related concerns and conditions.

Microneedling is a procedure that creates micro-punctures to the skin using very fine needles, in order to stimulate collagen and elastin production. We prepare the skin by cleansing and applying a sterile hyaluronic acid to the face which will be absorbed into the micro-punctures created by the device. This procedure is most commonly used to help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, and skin texture.

Microneedling can also be intensified with regular treatments and combining the treatment with other treatments, like Forma. To learn about FormaNeedling, click here.

Both treatments are summer safe and can be performed year-round. Of course, it goes without saying — SPF is a must every day, especially following a deep exfoliation or Microneedling treatment.

If you’re interested in learning more about these two treatments and which you should try, call us for a free consultation followed by a treatment (if you prefer).
